'LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean 3DS' revealed

Disney Interactive has announced that a Nintendo 3DS version of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean will arrive in May.

Developed by TT Games, the 3DS iteration will include a Pirate Duel mode exclusive to the platform. This feature uses the StreetPass system to automatically detect and battle other players within communication range.

Participating in Pirate Duels earns the player Play Coins and experience points, which can be used to unlock new characters and to strengthen their LEGO pirate.

The game will be launched to coincide with the release of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
